  • Abstract
    The letter reports the first data for optical damage studies of ion-implanted planar waveguides in LiNbO3. No optical damage was detected at visible laser wavelengths using laser sources of up to 5 W. In a comparison of ion-implanted and Ti-diffused waveguides the optical damage threshold for the ion-implanted guides is at least 100 times greater.
